As part of Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey’s inaugural season as co-Artistic Directors of the RSC, Shakespeare’s vibrant comedy Love’s Labour’s Lost will play in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre from 11 April-18 May, with Luke Thompson (Bridgerton, A Little Life) making his RSC debut as Berowne.

Thompson will star alongside Melanie-Joyce Bermudez as Princess, Ioanna Kimbook as Rosaline, and Rilwan Abiola Owokoniran as Ferdinand, with full casting to be confirmed.

Love’s Labour’s Lost is directed by Emily Burns, with design by Joanna Scotcher, lighting by Neil Austin, music by Paul Englishby, sound by George Dennis, choreography by Shelley Maxwell, and casting by Charlotte Sutton CDG.
